In the startup world, growing from 10 to 100 isn't just about getting bigger; it's about changing the way a company operates. This phase is often the tipping point where a closeknit team must evolve into a more structured organization, which can be both exciting and daunting for founders. Think of it as shifting from piloting a speedboat to steering a ship. The agility that once defined the business now has to be balanced with a need for process, systems, and broader strategic thinking.

Navigating the Complexity of Scaling

As companies grow from a small team to a midsized organization, the complexity of managing that growth multiplies. Scaling isn't just about adding more people; it's about redesigning the entire way a company functions. Roles need to become clearer, processes more defined, and leadership stronger. During this time, the startup's culture, often a company's biggest asset, is tested to see if it can hold up under the pressure of expansion.
